Jeremiah 17:5-11

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] the man
<01397>
that trusteth
<0982> (8799)
in man
<0120>_,
and maketh
<07760> (8804)
flesh
<01320>
his arm
<02220>_,
and whose heart
<03820>
departeth
<05493> (8799)
from the LORD
<03068>_.
For he shall be like the heath
<06199>
in the desert
<06160>_,
and shall not see
<07200> (8799)
when good
<02896>
cometh
<0935> (8799)_;
but shall inhabit
<07931> (8804)
the parched places
<02788>
in the wilderness
<04057>_,
[in] a salt
<04420>
land
<0776>
and not inhabited
<03427> (8799)_.
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[is] the man
<01397>
that trusteth
<0982> (8799)
in the LORD
<03068>_,
and whose hope
<04009>
the LORD
<03068>
is.
For he shall be as a tree
<06086>
planted
<08362> (8803)
by the waters
<04325>_,
and [that] spreadeth out
<07971> (8762)
her roots
<08328>
by the river
<03105>_,
and shall not see
<07200> (8799)
when heat
<02527>
cometh
<0935> (8799)_,
but her leaf
<05929>
shall be green
<07488>_;
and shall not be careful
<01672> (8799)
in the year
<08141>
of drought
<01226>_,
neither shall cease
<04185> (8686)
from yielding
<06213> (8800)
fruit
<06529>_.
{drought: or, restraint}
The heart
<03820>
[is] deceitful
<06121>
above all [things], and desperately wicked
<0605> (8803)_:
who can know
<03045> (8799)
it?
I the LORD
<03068>
search
<02713> (8802)
the heart
<03820>_,
[I] try
<0974> (8802)
the reins
<03629>_,
even to give
<05414> (8800)
every man
<0376>
according to his ways
<01870>_,
[and] according to the fruit
<06529>
of his doings
<04611>_.
[As] the partridge
<07124>
sitteth
<01716> (8804)
[on eggs], and hatcheth
<03205> (8804)
[them] not; [so] he that getteth
<06213> (8802)
riches
<06239>_,
and not by right
<04941>_,
shall leave
<05800> (8799)
them in the midst
<02677>
of his days
<03117>_,
and at his end
<0319>
shall be a fool
<05036>_.
{sitteth...: or, gathereth young which she hath not brought forth}
